5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!! and GREAT taste!!, October 4, 2009

This review is from: Barilla Plus Penna Pasta~2pk~14.5oz Boxes~ (Misc.)

Well, having grown up in a household where my Nonna Lucia made ALL her pasta from scratch, I consider myself a pasta epicure. There was definitely a difference between Nonna's pasta and anything coming off the shelves, and the Durhum wheat pasta definitely has a different taste then a multi-grain pasta has.

So when I tried Barilla Plus I was surprised at how "full" it tasted -- there were definite "nuances" of flavor contributed by the different grains and flours that make up this pasta -- I suppose saying that it's a healthy way to enjoy pasta might sound demeaining to my also-loved durhum wheat pasta, but in no way is it meant to cast aspersions on my "other" pasta-eating habits.

Barilla Plus goes well with any kind of sauce you might want to put on it -- white sauce? great!! Tomato sauce? Wonderful! Butter and Permesan only -- sure, go ahead!! Aglio e Olio? Fine!!

Mangia Mangia, la Bella Barilla!!

Unlike many other "healthy" pastas (whole grain, whole wheat, etc.), Barilla's Plus actually tastes good when cooked. Personally, I can't tell much of a difference between this and regular pasta.

This is great pasta from Barilla,it has a good texture(a little firmer than regular pasta) and tastes good,and it's better for ya tahn tradtional pasta! It's higher price is kind of a drag,but I sometimes have a coupon for it and that always helps! I really like this Barilla Plus Penne Pasta!!!
